Leslie's organizers want to thank all those who participated in helping put this project together. What the federal government did is absolutely wrong, and he's asking all of you for your help.
Leslie believes his confrontation with the federal government began when he alerted his C-level management, along with consultants contracted to General American LNG, that the 15% tax the government claimed was sufficient was unfair. He argued for a 35% tax rate, stating that even at that rate, there would still be plenty of money for the investors and shareholders of those large companies. Leslie also criticized government subsidies for projects like electric vehicles and charging stations, which burdened taxpayers who didn't even own stock in those companies but paid the upfront costs. Leslie's outspokenness led the government to falsely brand him as corrupt, while he saw them as the true thieves, exploiting the people of the United States through corporate welfare at the taxpayers' expense. This ordeal taught Leslie a harsh lesson: never outshine the master, especially the Federal government, or risk being silenced and imprisoned. Leslie believes the government's true motive was to maintain control and silence dissent. Despite his efforts to promote "The Stencil Plan," which involves scaling natural gas as a fourth transportation fuel, the government's alliance with the Chinese Communist Party for materials in the electric vehicle industry and the birth of the Green New Deal illustrated the consequences of challenging the status quo. In essence, the government cloned or stole Leslie's plan and decided to make the American taxpayer pay for it. That's why they put Mr. Stencil into prison.
Leslie needs all of our help!
